The Rab Women's Microlight Down Jacket will warm your core whether you hike across a snow-capped landscape, trek through breezy valleys, belay your buddy up an alpline ascent, or hang out by a cold campsite. Its Pertex Microlight outer fabric makes this jacket very lightweight, surprisingly durable, windproof, and highly breathable. The nylon ripstop lining helps the jacket slide easily over your layers and boosts durability on the inside. And between the fabric layers, 120g 750-fill European goose down brings a sweet warmth-to-weight ratio (feathery warmth without weight) for moderately cold days. The down also means this jacket packs down small so you'll always have space to bring it along. The Microlight's slim fit helps avoid the super-puff look, and it means you can layer a waterproof shell over this jacket when weather conditions get unfavorable. The jacket's Lycra-bound cuffs and hem drawcord keep undesirable breezes out, and two hand pockets warm your fingers. The chest pocket doubles as a stuff sack so you can attach this highly compressible jacket to a harness without having to sacrifice an extra set of stoppers.
